National Gardens Scheme

 

On the 17th April Bob Priddle gave an interesting and informative talk about the National Gardens Scheme.

The piece of information that I found most useful and memorable was about coping with slugs. Bob said always water plants in the morning, before 11am. That way, they get the benefit, but the soil has dried out by the time the slimy beasts are ready to come out and feed. He also suggested, for those who feel okay about killing slugs, to put a few slug pellets in the soil underneath a new plant.
